PodRoom - Podcast App

Podcast Wallet is a mobile wallet powered by the integration of both Paystack and Stripe with PodRoom. (Stripe acquired Paystack in 2020 to ‘accelerate online commerce across Africa’.)
With access to both platforms, podcasters can seamlessly receive donations, and listeners can easily donate from across the world.
For Podcasters. It’s a simple process to link your bank account to PodRoom to create your wallet. This then allows you to accept donations from subscribers who love your content.
For Podcast Subscribers. For our subscribers, it’s just a matter to click on their favorite podcasters, select the amount, and make donations using a card or bank account.
All transactions are powered by and secured by Paystack/Stripe to ensure that they are seamlessly and securely processed.

We recently launched the PodRoom donation feature, we make 4% on a every donation. on Friday June 25 2021 ew made our first $10.

Today we acquired our 1000th user, after some tweets and retweets, instagram promoted posts, FB adverts. The PodRoom has finally crossed the 1,000 user mark in 11 days of launch 🚀. Now that we re stable, we can start running promoted ads and convert some of the users to paying subscribers soon

Yesterday we launched (PodRoom)[podroomlive.com] inc. on Hacker News and got to the front page! Overall it resulted in 6,000 pageviews and almost 100 new signups. Here are three lessons I learned:

1. Refine your website before launching. There were several typos and errors on my site that I could've fixed beforehand if I'd asked a few friends for their opinions.
2. Submit multiple times if you have to. This was my third time submitting attempt in two weeks. The first two didn't make it to the front page, but this one did.
3. Don't pay attention to the haters. There will always be some negative commenters. Ignore them, try not to take it personally, and focus on the positive.
   I'm excited for what comes next.
